As an alternative to the many grab-and-go salad options that are available in large plastic bowls, BOL Foods offers highly portable salad jars that are layered with colorful, internationally inspired ingredients.
BOL Foods' assortment of salad jars includes vibrant varieties that pull inspiration from Morocco, Mexico and beyond. The Japanese Salad Jar boasts a mix of black rice, rainbow slaw, broccoli, edamame and a flavorful soy, miso and ginger dressing.
A year ago, BOL Foods committed to cutting out all meat and fish from its veggie pots, salads and soups. As of summer 2018, BOL Foods will also be going completely dairy-free by only offering plant-based options going forward. BOL Foods' Japanese Salad Jar is already labeled "totally vegan," while the other options, some of which contain cheese, are currently noted as "totally veggie."
